Polyform F6 Marine Fender / Cylindrical Boat & Yacht Fender / High-Impact Protection Fender – Model F6 – Volume 60 Litres 🔹 Product Description 

• The Polyform F6 Fender is a premium heavy-duty cylindrical fender from the long-established Polyform F-Series, known for setting the global standard in hull protection for more than 60 years.

• Engineered using Polyform’s exclusive POLYMATIQ™ technology, the F6 offers exceptional impact absorption, structural flexibility, and weather durability, even in the harshest marine conditions.

• Built from tough, flexible marine-grade vinyl, this fender is rotationally molded to create a seamless, high-strength surface that resists abrasion, UV degradation, cracking, and pressure fluctuations.

• With a large internal volume of 60 litres, the F6 is ideally suited for medium to large vessels, offering an advanced level of hull cushioning during docking, rafting, or vessel-to-vessel contact.

• The fender measures 1090 mm in length and 290 mm in diameter, providing a robust cylindrical barrier that absorbs lateral and vertical movement, especially useful in swells or port traffic.

• Each end is equipped with heavy-duty dual ropeholds, reinforced with multiple ribs and molded to resist tearing, distortion, or rope tension failures—critical for marine safety under high stress.

• The eye diameter of 28 mm accommodates thick marine ropes, stainless steel shackles, and fender lines for versatile mounting, either vertically or horizontally depending on vessel configuration.

• With a weight of just 4.20 kg, the F6 offers excellent handling characteristics for crew and marina operators, especially when multiple fenders need to be deployed or stored quickly.

• Rated for inflation pressure of 0.15–0.20 bar at 20°C, the fender must not be over-inflated to maintain structural integrity and optimize its long-term performance.

• Temperature-tested for -30°C to +60°C, the F6 is capable of withstanding extreme climates, making it a reliable choice for vessels operating in Arctic, tropical, or high-temperature port regions.

• While ideal for yachts and recreational boats, the F6 is also commonly used by coast guards, naval fleets, pilot craft, commercial supply vessels, and research boats, thanks to its high energy absorption properties.

• Its durable construction ensures long-lasting use without deflation or deformation, even with frequent rubbing against rough quay walls, piers, or neighboring hulls.

• The smooth high-gloss finish is non-marking and easy to clean, which helps protect vessel paintwork or gel coat while maintaining a professional marine aesthetic.

• The F6 model fits seamlessly into multi-fender setups, providing complete side rail protection for vessels moored for extended periods or navigating tight berths in busy marinas or industrial harbors.

• Suitable for vessels from approximately 10–20 meters, it serves as a vital safety buffer in mooring and docking situations where hull integrity is a priority.

• Manufactured in Norway to DNV and ISO maritime standards, the Polyform F6 Fender delivers professional-grade performance trusted by seafarers worldwide.
